A hairdresser is someone we trust with our mood before big events and often talk to more openly than to friends. In Ukraine, hairdressers celebrate their professional day on 13 September — a good reason to say a few warm words to your stylist. Here are wishes from clients and colleagues, short texts, card lines and ideas for what to give along with your greeting.

When Is Hairdresser’s Day in Ukraine

Hairdresser’s Day in Ukraine is celebrated every year on 13 September. It honours hair stylists, colourists and barbers. It is not a public holiday: salons usually congratulate their staff, and clients bring flowers or sweets. The profession itself is one of the oldest — hair specialists worked in Ancient Egypt, and Ancient Greece had the first forerunners of modern salons. Other autumn professional days are in our professional holidays calendar.

Wishes for a Hairdresser from Clients

Client wishes work best with thanks for something specific: a bold cut, a great colour or simply good conversation.

• Happy Hairdresser’s Day! You create beauty — may it come back to you.

• A light hand, a full book and happy clients!
• Happy professional day! Thanks for my favourite haircut.

What to Give a Hairdresser on Their Day

Avoid professional tools unless you know exactly what they use: stylists are particular about scissors and dryers. Safe choices are flowers, treats for the whole salon, a hand cream (a hairdresser’s hands are constantly in water and products) or a massage voucher. A small bouquet or flowers in a box fits on a workstation, and a card with your words is something a stylist keeps. Card ideas are in what to write on a flower card.
